Creatives don't owe you shit. They fundamentally do not owe you shit. They made something. You saw it. There was never any responsibility involved. They don't owe you a "better version" of the work. They don't owe you "less problematic writing". They don't owe you more episodes. You deserve nothing.

It will always be my mission any time a Roy Lichtenstein theft appears in my feed to remind the world others did it first and better — in this case Russ Heath, artist for the story "Aces Wild," written by Hank Chapman, and published in All-American Men of War #89 (Jan-Feb 1962).

Close-up of a fighter pilot's profile, beyond which we can see the plane he shot going down in flames.
CAPTION: That was their mistake -- because it gave me more targets than I could shoot at ...
HIS WORD BALLOON: "No. 2! One more to make ace!"
SOUND EFFECT: BRATTATA

This is probably either a really good or really bad time to point out that this classic Roy Lichtenstein Pop art painting from 1962, showing a fighter pilot shooting down a military jet, is in the collection of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art www.lichtensteincatalogue.org/catalogue/en...

Painting that looks like a comic book panel showing a fighter pilot in a cockpit shooting down a plane, with text: That was their mistake - because it gave me more targets than I could shoot at" and "No. 4! One more to make ace!"

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom
